Interview by Zoe Forward, DVM, DABVP
Hello Everyone! I am so pleased to welcome Megan to our blog today.
Megan is a registered veterinary technician who has been working in the veterinary medical field for over eight years. Originally from California, she lived for a while in Colorado Springs before settling here. She’s been involved in canine search and rescue groups and performed veterinary technician relief work in Haiti. She enjoys the small town atmosphere, close client relations, and the high caliber of medicine practiced here at Carolina Pets.
Megan, what is your favorite part of the job?
Of course I love working with animals, but I have to say I also really enjoy the medical aspect of the job. Being able to do everything from radiology to surgery and everything in between makes my job ever changing and unpredictable. I love it!
It’s not all puppies and kittens! You have to really enjoy the
medical aspect of the job. It also gets messy sometimes! So, you need a
strong stomach and a desire to challenge yourself.
Tell us about working in Haiti!
Working in Haiti was a once in a lifetime experience! I saw a lot
of sad situations but it felt really good to help. I was able to train villagers in areas of
animal husbandry, nutrition, and preventative medicine as well as offer much
needed care to animals that had gone so long without. The animals in Haiti
serve a job, so you don’t see many companion animals. I always had to keep that
point in mind when treating a sick or hard worked animal. Working there gave me
a new perspective.
If money was no object, what hobby would you like to pick up?
Competitive Sailing
